Cpl. Zachary A. Barnett (Right) assists a fellow Marine onto a Papua New Guinea naval vessel, as part of their movement to shore from USNS Sacagawea (T-AKE 2), to participate in Exercise Koa Moana, June 17, 2016, as part of Task Force Koa Moana’s deployment in the Asia-Pacific region. Koa Moana is a multi-national, bilateral exercise with the Papua New Guinea Defence Force to increase interoperability and relations by sharing infantry, law enforcement, medical and engineering skills. The Sacagawea is a Marine Prepositioning Force Ship assigned to transport the task force to multiple nations in the Asia-Pacific region during their deployment. This marks the first time for the Papua New Guinea Navy to transport equipment and personnel from ship to ship to shore. The U.S. service members with the task force are originally assigned to I and III Marine Expeditionary Force. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. William Hester/ Released)
